Abstract/Contents: | Details the history of the greenkeeping profession, stating that initially "any pasture or farm was considered good enough for a golf course." Discusses advancements in turfgrass varieties used on the golf course, disease and insect prevention and treatment, and fertilization techniques.

The man who aims to stay in front must keep even or one step ahead of the times in order to meet...demands, which are greater in the field of golf than in any other sport." |
